| Summary: | "Based on a lifetime's work in the industry, George Mathiesson has written a much-needed and comprehensive book covering all major aspects of the subject. The book covers the biology, distribution, husbandry and disease of cultured oysters and looks in detail at recent developments in oyster culture as well as considering the limits to oyster production. Separate chapters deal in detail with oyster culture in the Far East, the Indo-Pacific Region, Western Europe, North America and tropical areas, and with the history of production methods by a New England-based oyster company." "This book will be a reference tool for all those involved in the culture of oysters, including oyster farm managers and workers, biologists working on oysters and other bivalve shellfish and invertebrates, regulatory personnel and all those serving the industry, including personnel in aquaculture equipment and feed companies. Copies of the book should also be available in libraries of universities, research establishments and government laboratories where aquaculture is studied or taught."--Jacket. |
